Timeline for Deployment: 

Summer/fall 2025. All appointees are required to attend a cross-cultural and language acquisition program and pre-field course/experience prior to deploying. 

General Information: 

Currently, there is little to almost no Kingdom presence with the majority population. While it may exist, we do not know of any groups of believers in the majority population. The city is located along the coast in between desert and coastal climates. 

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. 

Workers will be expected to complete a year of formal French training in a language school. After this is completed, they will complete two years of intensive language and cultural study in the local Arabic dialect. 

Health Considerations: 

There are some local health clinics and hospitals within the city; however, the quality of care is not on par with what one would expect in a developed country. For example, most international workers leave the country to deliver their babies safely elsewhere. Some medications are available at local pharmacies. 

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

Children’s Educational Plan and Options: 

There are good international and French schools available in the city. Families have also enjoyed home schooling and participating in home-school co-ops. The team already includes several children and are more than willing to discuss educational options that would fit the candidate’s needs.
